Gary King
[after rejecting eternal youth from the Network]

There's only one Gary King!

The Network

Then you have made your choice, Gary King of the humans!

Gary King

Yeah I have! Because, frankly, who the **** are you to come down here and tell us what to do?!

The Network

We are the Network! And we are here for your betterment! In the last 23 years, have you not marveled as information technology has surged forward?

Gary King

No.

The Network

Earth has grown smaller, yet greater as connectivity has grown! This is our doing! And it is just the beginning!

Gary King

Ohhh **** off you big lamp!

The Network

You are children, and you require guidance! There is no room for imperfection!

Gary King

Hey, Earth isn't perfect, all right? And humans aren't perfect, and guess what? I ain't perfect!

The Network

Therein lies the necessity of this intervention, must the galaxy be subjected to an entire planet of people like you?

Andrew Knightley

Whoah, whoah...whoah whoah whoah whoah whoah...who put you in charge, huh? Who are you to criticize anyone? You may think Gary is a bit of a ****, and he is a bit of a ****, but he's MY ****!

Gary King

Oh thanks, mate.

The Network

But he is a detriment to himself just as Earth is a detriment to the galaxy!

Andrew Knightley

What did you say?

The Network

You act out the same cycles of self-destruction again, and again! At this point, your planet is the least civilized in the entire galaxy!

Gary King

What did he say?

Andrew Knightley

He's saying we're a bunch of ****-ups!

Gary King

HEY! It is our basic human right to be ****-ups! This civilization was founded on ****-ups and you know what? That makes me proud!

Andrew Knightley

Yeah! And me!

Gary King

What is it they say? "To err is..."

Andrew Knightley

"To err is human."

Gary King

"To err is human!" So...errr...!

The Network

We do not believe you speak for all humanity! You are but two men! Two DRUNK men!

Steven Prince
[enters from above]

THREE drunk men!

Gary and Andrew

Stevey-baby! [all laughing]

The Network

ENOUGH! ENOUGH, HUMANS!

Gary King

Oh, you are in trouble now! It's only the **** three musketeers!

The Network

You are revolting against the wisdom of countless solar systems!

Gary King

Yeah, we are revolting!

Andrew Knightley

Wait, you just said you're not here to conquer! Can I just ask, how many people did you have to replace in Newton Haven?

The Network

That is irrelevant.

Andrew Knightley

Is it? [to the blank congregation] Hands up! Who here is human?!

Man 1

I'm human.

Gary King

One!

Man 2

And me.

Gary King

That's two!

Basil

I am, but I don't know for how long.

Gary, Andrew, & Steven

Basil!

Basil

Shh! [disappears]

Steven Prince

So what's that, three?

Andrew Knightley

You had to replace an entire town?

The Network

Not the entire town.

Gary King

Well everybody apart from old Nutball, and the shifty twins!

Steven Prince

That's a good name for a band, Gary, you should write that down!

Gary King

I will!

Andrew Knightley

What about all the ones you replaced, like Peter and Oliver?

Steven Prince

Yeah! What happened to the empties?!

Basil
[offscreen]

I told you not to ask that!

The Network

Redundant vessels are recycled, mulched and converted into fertilizer where upon they are returned to the earth to promote verdancy and growth. It is a highly efficient means of organic renewal!

Gary King

Mulched?!

The Network

It is a relative few in light of our long-term plan!

Steven Prince

You mean a few hundred thousand turned to **** compost!

Andrew Knightley

Well what about the other places? The penetration points! [Gary makes a sex motion with his finger] Are they as successful as Newton Haven? Because I'm guessing we're not the only glitch in your system!

The Network

It is true, the Network has been experiencing some difficulties.

Gary King

I think you bit off more than you can chew with Earth, mate!

Andrew Knightley

Yeah because we are more belligerent, more stubborn, and more idiotic than you can possibly imagine! I am not just talking about Gary!

Gary King

Yeah, there's more than one Gary King!

Network

But you said-

Gary King

I **** KNOW WHAT I **** SAID!

The Network

YOUR RELIANCE ON PROFANITY IS A MEASURE OF YOUR IMMATURITY AS A MAN AND AS A SPECIES!

Gary King

Why don't you just get in your rocket and **** off back to Legoland, you ****s!

Steven Prince

Yeah! Stop **** Starbucking us man!

Gary King

Yeah!

The Network

It is our duty to challenge you!

Gary King

Just leave us to our own devices, you intergalactic arseholes!

The Network

You misunderstand!

Gary King

Shut up!

The Network

We are trying-

Gary King

Nobody's listening!!

The Network

If you'd only-!

Gary King

FACE IT! We are the human race, and we don't like being told what to do!

The Network
[pause]

Just what is it you want to do?!

Gary King

We wanna be free!

Andrew Knightley

Yeah!

Gary King

We wanna be free to do what we wanna do!

Andrew Knightley

Yeah.

Gary King

We wanna get loaded!

Steven Prince

Yeah!

Gary King

And we wanna have a good time! And that's what we're gonna do!

The Network
[pause]

It's pointless arguing with you... [Begins shutting down] You will be left to your own devices.

Gary King

Really?

The Network

Yeah...**** it. [Shuts down]

Gary King

And we're back! Just like the five musketeers!

Steven Prince

Three musketeers wasn't it?

Peter Page

Four, if you count d'Artagnan.

Gary King

Well, nobody knows how many there were, really, do they, Pete? I mean, history is a sketchbook.

Oliver Chamberlain

You do know that "The Three Musketeers" was a fiction, right? Written by Alexandre Dumas?

Gary King

A lot of people are saying that about the Bible these days.

Steven Prince

What, that it was written by Alexandre Dumas?

Gary King

Don't be daft, Steve! It was written by Jesus! Anyway, five sounds much better. I think they missed a trick only having three, 'cos if they'd had five, then two could have died, and they'd still have three left!

Andrew Knightley

Are we there yet?

Gary King

Let's do this!

Gary King

How's um...?

Peter Page

Vanessa?

Gary King

No, your wife.

Peter Page

Vanessa?

Gary King

Yeah, how's she?

Peter Page

She's good.

Gary King

Have you had sex yet?

Peter Page

We have two children.

Gary King

Ooh, twice! Get you, **** machine!

Gary King

If I'm not me, then how do I know that carved into that beam above your head are the words "King Gary"?

Andrew Knightley
[looking into the beam]

But it doesn't say "King Gary".

Gary King

Yes it does!...Doesn't it?

Andrew Knightley

No...it says "King Gay".

Gary King
[annoyed]

Well...some **** scrubbed out the "r"!

Steven Prince
[laughing]

That was me.

Gary King

Why?

Peter Page
[s****]

King Gay!

Gary King

Jesus, I do something right for a change, and you ****ers get on my case!

Andrew Knightley

Wow, that is the first time I've ever heard you admit being wrong!

Gary King

I said I did something right!

Steven Prince

Yeah, "for a change"!

Gary King

So?

Andrew Knightley

Meaning the rest of the time, you're wrong?

Gary King

Not necessarily. [Everyone groans in annoyance]

Gary King

We had ourselves a little idea.

Andrew Knightley

Did you now?

Gary King

Yeah, we're gonna go back to Newton Haven.

Andrew Knightley

Why?

Gary King

For some unfinished business.

Andrew Knightley

...That's a joke right?

Gary King

Five guys? Twelve Pubs? Fifty pints?

Andrew Knightley

Sixty pints.

Gary King
[Laughing]

Oh hoo, steady on, you **** alky!

Andrew Knightley

I haven't had a drink for 16 years, Gary.

Gary King

You must be thirsty then. We can go back, see the guys, chew the fat, and it will be just like it always was, except this time, we are gonna finish this thing once and for all.

Andrew Knightley

You have a very selective memory, Gary.

Gary King

Thanks.

Andrew Knightley

You remember the Friday nights. I remember the Monday mornings.

Gary King

Yeah, that's why we're going back on a Friday! [Makes silly face]

Andrew Knightley

Why do you think none of us live in Newton Haven anymore?

Gary King

I dunno...

Andrew Knightley

Because it is a black hole. It's boring. It always was, and it always will be!

Gary King

It's only boring 'cause we're not there!

Andrew Knightley

It's pointless arguing with you.

Gary King

Exactly! So come!

Oliver Chamberlain

Maybe they have selective memories.

Gary King

Yeah, like what's-his-name! Me!

Sam Chamberlain

Andy, what's happening?

Andrew Knightley

Gary thinks we should keep up with the crawl because they know what they're doing, but they don't know that we know what they're doing, and basically no one else has a better idea, so **** it.

Sam Chamberlain

Gary, you are out of your mind!

Gary King

What are you talking about, you gave me the sign!

Sam Chamberlain

What sign?

Gary King

You went to the toilet.

Sam Chamberlain

Gary, are you serious? I haven't seen you in twenty years! You really think I'm going to have sex with you in the ladies toilet?

Gary King

Well the disabled's is out of order.

Steven Prince

Ten people have entered in this toilet in the last five minutes and not a single one has come back out again. That's going to look suspicious.

Gary King

Gay loving!

Steven Prince

We need to be able to differentiate between them, them and us.

Peter Page

Yeah, I think the pronouns are really confusing.

Gary King

I don't even know what a pronoun is.

Oliver Chamberlain

Well, it's a word that can function by itself as a noun which refers to something else in the discourse.

Gary King

I don't get it.

Andrew Knightley

You just used one.

Gary King

Did I?

Andrew Knightley

"It", it's a pronoun.

Gary King

What is?

Andrew Knightley

It!

Gary King

Is it?

Andrew Knightley

Christ!

Steven Prince

Wow, you really have a selective memory, don't you?

Gary King

Somebody else was saying that!

Andrew Knightley

Me.

Gary King

No, I would have remembered.

Oliver Chamberlain
[after their first encounter with blanks]

WTF, Gary? WTF?

Gary King

What the **** does "WTF" mean?

Peter Page
[Exiting stall]

What the ****??

Gary King

Oooh, yeah!

Bartender
[Gary and the blanks of his teenage friends prepare for an armed brawl in a bar]

Who the hell do you think you are?!

Gary King

Me? They call me The King! [Charges forward]
